Within the framework of the 'Three Cultures with You' project, the Fundación Tres Culturas, in collaboration with the FCAT, is offering a film cycle that shows, through four titles, different visions of Morocco's recent past.
According to the Moroccan Film Centre (CCM), Moroccan cinema is booming, with some 15 feature films and 50 short films being produced annually. Year after year, progress is made in production circuits, audience attendance and the fight against piracy, as well as the development of film festivals, such as those in Marrakech, Khouribga, Tangiers and Salé (Women's Film Festival).
This cycle, designed to be enjoyed at home, offers an overview of films in which Morocco is the protagonist, including works by Spanish and Moroccan directors who portray different experiences, situations, themes and visions of the neighbouring country.
